Erik Esselstyn ’55 fairly often goes down the road from North Montpelier to Hanover where he’ll share lunch with Mike Mayor ‘55 while attending various functions and Board Meetings in Hanover. But it’s springtime in northern Vermont and Erik is tending to his rustic surroundings. He’s “lining up firewood for next year”, doing a lot of splitting and just starting to put out the garden, making some new “raised beds”, and basically just “stackin’ wood and fixing fence” that got beaten down by trees over the wintertime. Erik and Celina are a blended family and are devoted caretakers to their signature country home in rural New England. It’s an idyllic ‘bed and breakfast’ spot if you’re lucky enough to win an invitation to break bread with them. Tom L’Esperance Class of 1955
